I am sorry to hear about Stella Rose. It is very difficult to evaluate her eyes from these photos, all I can see is that they look like perhaps she has increased tear production and could be squinting slightly. If this has been ongoing I would be concerned about an eye infection or allergies. Those saline drops appear to be for rinsing contacts and not the eye, so I would not recommend them as they may not be the correct percentage/solution of saline and could be irritating to the eyes. If you are looking for something to try over the counter I would look for something specifically made for the eye itself, such as this product https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/vetericyn-ophthalmic-pet-gel-3-fl-oz-2254477?&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&adpos=1o1&scid=scplp2254477&sc_intid=2254477&cm_mmc=PLA-GG-_-PTC_P_BND_PLA-GG_FY17_SCShopping-TM-_-Non+VIP+-+TM-_-58700003271149947&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&adpos=%7badpos%7d&scid=scplp2254477&sc_intid=2254477&kwid=p34127533583&device=c&gclid=Cj0KCQjwqPDaBRC6ARIsACAf4hD4_0ilhXik5BWfxmPKhgYah83etmYQGYQxp3G3PPWTNyBHxu04CJ4aAkJ8EALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds . You could also consider a trial of benadryl/diphenhydramine after discussing it with her vet since they know her health history and if this medication will be safe for her https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/cat/benadryl . I would make an appointment for the vet to see her as soon as possible since it sounds like this has been going on for awhile. Best of luck.
